Having a peek at what forever could look like, Aaron and Kenny begrudgingly return to their secretive life in Ryston. But, another person from their past has other plans, and the bodies are again start to pile up. Can they survive long enough to get their HEA?
From the blurb:
Some lessons in love leave scars.
Their love was forged in shadows—but now the darkness wants to tear them apart.
Aaron Jones never expected to find love—not real love, not the kind that wasn’t twisted by his family’s monstrous legacy. But with Dr Kenneth Lyons, his sharp-minded, rule-breaking professor, he’s found something close to hope. Their relationship is a fragile, forbidden thing, hidden behind locked doors and stolen touches, but it’s his. And maybe—just maybe—it’s real. If only Kenny would say the words first, then Aaron could finally believe in them.
Kenny has spent his life keeping control, maintaining the careful balance between his dark fascinations and the polished mask he wears for the world. But his secret relationship with Aaron is a dangerous line to cross, balancing him on the edge of ruin. Their passion has already blurred the edges of his morality, shattering every ethical rule he swore to uphold. And yet, nothing—no consequence, no fear—is more terrifying than losing him.
But someone wants to tear them apart.
A new predator is lurking in the shadows. One who knows the darkest corners of Aaron’s past, the secrets he keeps even from Kenny. And this killer isn’t just hunting victims; they’re playing a game. A game where Aaron is the prize, and Kenny is the target.
As the bodies pile up, mirroring the horrors of Aaron’s childhood, the past claws its way into the present. Every clue drags them deeper into the nightmare, forcing them to question how far they’re willing to go to survive—and to stay together. Because in the end, love might not be enough to save them.
But obsession? That just might be.
Killing Me Softly is the breathtaking conclusion to the To Love a Psycho trilogy. A story of love defying the rules, of madness and desire, of a bond that might just be as dangerous as the darkness closing in.
SNik's review:
Audio. Third in series (To Love a Psycho), must be read in order. Established couple. Professor/student. Forbidden relationship. Age gap. Hurt/comfort. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Another few months have passed for Aaron and Kenny, and they have spent every minute of summer break together being happy in their isolated bubble. However, work and school beckon, but they are once again in danger from their shared past.
Even when these two can’t express their commitment it envelops them the way they are together every minute, every scene. The author writes very emotionally descriptive introspection from both Aaron and Kenny and they finally begin to verbalize with each other how committed they are to one another. The danger stalking them was suspenseful enough, although for two intelligent men they seem to get caught by the baddies every time, but I was still invested. This was a really riveting series, with complex characters, and an intense relationship that gets a fantastic HEA.
What is it about Piers Ryman? The way he drawls out the words in his growly voice makes each expressed emotion visceral and enthralling. He’s an absolute favorite of mine as a narrator.
Killing Me Softly is currently available as an audiobook, e-book, paperback and hardback, and can be read as part of your Kindle Unlimited Subscription
